San Francisco Bay Area thrash legends Exodus have parted ways with vocalist Steve “Zetro” Souza and welcomed back former frontman Rob Dukes. The band announced the lineup change on social media today (15th), stating:
“Announcement!
EXODUS have parted ways with Steve “Zetro” Souza. We thank Steve for his years fronting the band and all the killer music we made during that time. We wish him only the best in the future and much success with anything he does.
And please help us welcome Rob Dukes back to EXODUS! We are beyond stoked to have Rob back ripping up the stage with us and he’s looking forward to crushing everything like only he can.
Next chapter begins, new record rolls along as planned and the beatings will continue.
See you soon,
EXODUS”
Dukes originally joined Exodus in 2005 and recorded four albums with the band: 2005’s Shovel Headed Kill Machine, 2007’s The Atrocity Exhibition…Exhibit A, 2008’s re-recording of their 1985 album, Bonded By Blood, titled Let There Be Blood, and 2010’s Exhibit B: The Human Condition. Dukes left the band in 2014, welcoming Souza back for the third time. Souza joined in 1986, just in time for 1987’s Pleasures of the Flesh, and now, 2021’s Persona Non Grata is currently Souza’s last album with the group. Exodus plans to forge ahead with the aim of releasing a new record and more to come, embracing their new chapter.
